Harlem Urban Garden Needs Help - a real-life EVOKE
If you live in the USA and care about sustainable living a $10 subscription to Mother Earth News is worth every penny [and then some].
I also get their periodic e-mail updates/newsletter.
Here is a real EVOKE call that I just received in the last Mother Earth Newsletter:
Here's a great way to actually do something to support urban gardening, cut green house gases, and increase a community's food security.Hiya readers — I'm Tabitha Alterman, one of your happy editors! I'm working on a community garden project near my home in New York City. This East Harlem garden, known as Chenchita's Garden, really needs a little TLC. If you can spare some garden seeds, transplants, tools, organic fertilizers or other resources, just shoot me an e-mail at [talterman @ MotherEarthNews.com] with the Subject Line "Harlem Garden." I'll let you know where to send the goodies, and I'll be soooo grateful. And if you happen to know gardening experts in the NYC area that might like to help, please let me know that too.

Great post, Ayala - The first thing that comes to mind is the Green Guerrillas project in NYC - perhaps you could forward this information to her?

I am enjoying the heck out of reading and learning about guerrilla gardening!

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
